& SIS Lind's Later Days.
S the other day with an ED
erly SweIs antleman about the stories one
hears in America of the sensation Jenny Lind
created there in 1S50-of how people still told
of hearing her marvellous voice in the streets
outside the halls and churches in which she
sang He had known her ever since child
hood, and is an intimate friend Of an old
gentleman still living in Stockholm who was
the tenor in the old operate company she
first belonged to away back in 1887, and who
was once engaged to be married to her. He
told me many curious things of her later life.
She is plain and white haired now, with a
severe expression of countenance. She is
very pious, and most of her talk is devoted to
bemoaning the days when she was sinful
enough to appear on the stage She is in
tolerant toward young singers, sneering at
their voices and their vacations alike, and re-
Dukes any one who ventures to address her by
the name of Jenny Lind-or even refer to the
name was told of a case some years ago,
when she was visiting here in London, when
her host brought to her young Swedish
soprano who had won fame and respect in
Europe and America, and was proud Of this
opportunity of paying homage to Jenny Lind
She made the mistake of abiding to this
name, and was so cruelty snubbed in conse-
ssssss thasa-,M,r,a Gsssashmidt was never
e 1t house.-London Cor.
